Windows Mobile 6.5 on Omnia 2

Here is a quick peek of Windows Mobile 6.5 on Omnia. Now I have something to look forward to. I hope they release the WinMo 6.5 for our country.

Update: I brought my device to the service center to fix the camera issue and they fixed my camera and upgraded my device's OS to WinMo 6.5 - Yes!

Omnia 2: Changing Language

If your phone came with a different language pack that you don't speak, of course you will wonder "How the hell am I going to change its language?". I got the same problem when I first got my phone. Here is a quick help.

1. Press the cube.
2. Press the settings (cog like button, check helpful images below.)
3. Look for a puzzle like button on the menu and press it, it is the "General Settings".
4. At the bottom menu, you will see "Samsung TouchWiz UI" - it's not it. Choose above it, it is the language setting. There are three choices there - Local language, English, English + Local Language Input. Choose the middle one. It should show an english message confirming your selection, choose "YES".

Enjoy your new Omnia 2.
